Weather API MCP Server

A Model Context Protocol (MCP) server implementation for weather information, providing current weather data and forecasts using the 和风天气 (QWeather) API.

Features

  • Current Weather: Get current weather data for any location
  • Weather Forecast: Get 3-day to 30-day weather forecasts
  • Hourly Forecast: Get 24-hour weather forecasts
  • City Lookup: Look up city information and IDs for more precise weather data
  • Customizable Options: Configure units, language, and additional details
  • Powered by QWeather: Integrates with the 和风天气 (QWeather) API for accurate weather data

Installation

npm install mcp-weather-api

Or use it directly with npx:

npx mcp-weather-api

API Reference

Weather Tools

The server provides four weather tools that can be called through MCP:

1. Get Current Weather

// Tool name: getWeather
{
  location: "New York, NY",  // Can be city name, coordinates like "119.98,30.24", or QWeather location ID
  options: {
    units: "metric",        // "metric" (Celsius) or "imperial" (Fahrenheit)
    language: "en",         // Language code (en, zh, etc.)
  }
}

2. Get Weather Forecast

// Tool name: getWeatherForecast
{
  location: "London, UK",   // Can be city name, coordinates like "119.98,30.24", or QWeather location ID
  options: {
    units: "imperial",      // "metric" (Celsius) or "imperial" (Fahrenheit)

Configuration

You can configure various options through environment variables:

# API Configuration
export QWEATHER_API_KEY=your-api-key
export QWEATHER_API_URL=https://devapi.qweather.com/v7
export QWEATHER_GEO_API_URL=https://geoapi.qweather.com/v2
export WEATHER_DEFAULT_LOCATION=101010100  # Default location code or coordinates

# Default Options
export WEATHER_DEFAULT_UNITS=metric     # or 'imperial'
export WEATHER_DEFAULT_LANGUAGE=en      # language code
export WEATHER_INCLUDE_DETAILS=true     # or 'false'
export WEATHER_FORECAST_DAYS=3          # number of days (max 30)

Or in your MCP configuration:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "weather": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "mcp-weather-api"],
      "env": {
        "QWEATHER_API_KEY": "your-api-key",
        "QWEATHER_API_URL": "https://devapi.qweather.com/v7",
        "QWEATHER_GEO_API_URL": "https://geoapi.qweather.com/v2",
        "WEATHER_DEFAULT_LOCATION": "101010100",
        "WEATHER_DEFAULT_UNITS": "imperial",
        "WEATHER_DEFAULT_LANGUAGE": "zh",
        "WEATHER_INCLUDE_DETAILS": "true",
        "WEATHER_FORECAST_DAYS": "7"
      }
    }
  }
}

Location Formats

You can specify locations in three formats:

  1. City name: e.g., "New York", "London", "Beijing"
  2. Coordinates: e.g., "119.98,30.24" (longitude,latitude)
  3. QWeather location ID: e.g., "101010100" (Beijing)

When using coordinates, the format must be longitude,latitude (e.g., "119.98,30.24"), which will be passed directly to the QWeather API.

Use the lookupCity tool to find the appropriate location ID for more precise targeting.

China City Location Codes

For Chinese cities, you can use the QWeather location ID which provides more precise location targeting. The complete list of Chinese city codes can be found in the QWeather LocationList repository.

This CSV file contains location IDs for Chinese cities in the format:
